20. If 'Christ died on our account in accordance with the Scriptures'
(Rm 5:8; 1Co 15:3), and we do not 'live for ourselves',
but 'for Him who died and rose' on our account (2Co 5:15),
it is clear that we are debtors to Christ to serve Him till our death. How then
can we regard sonship as something which is our due? REF:Saint
Kosmas Aitolos +1779

26. While man can scarcely keep what belongs to him by nature, Christ gives the
grace of sonship through the Cross. REF:Saint Kosmas Aitolos
